MUSIC AND DRAMA.
CHARLES DICKENS, JR.

There was large sale of admission and
stage tickets yesterday for the Dickens read
ing to be given in the Stockbridge course at
City Han tomorrow evening. The arrange
ments for half fare and late trains ON the
Maine Central and Grand Trunk roads ac-
commodities large number of the out of
town atrons. Mr.. Dickens's success, ac-
cording to the New York Post, depends
more upon his abilities as an actor, not
author, as incorrectly published in yester-
days edition, and those abilities are most
pronounced in the representation of the
Judge in the Bardsll-Pickwick trial, and Of
Sam Weller. There is no doubt that Mr.
Dickens will meet with pronounced recep-
ton.

STUART ROGERS.
The third entertainment in the Y M. c. A.

day evening, and will consist of recitals and
representations by Stuart Rogers. The
Leavenworth Times contains the following
complimentary notice in reference to Mr..
Rogers's appearance before the Art League
in that city: "a large and well pleased
audience assembled in the Opera House last
evening to hear and see Mr.. Stuart Rogers in
his splendid character delineations, which
were undoubtedly the best ever witnessed in
this city. The reading of the gentleman was
perfect, and his limitations of various per.
sonages were of such a nature as to call
forth great applause Should he appear
again before Leavenworth audience, there
would not be standing room in the house,
which would have been the case If the storm
had not been so severe. The Art League
may Justly feel proud Of their successful en-;
beavers to please as highly a cultivated and
critical audience as that of last night"
